The Finnish version of "The office" series

[stickyfuel · 6/10 · 24 June 2018]

The main star of the series is Finnish stand-up comedian Sami Hedberg. He is the only real comedian in the whole series. Without him, this version would be a totally flop.

Typical Finnish dark humour... mostly by class B actors and actresses.

Carbon copy of a 15 year old British series, except not funny

They use the same script as the original, only slightly altered to fit Finnish culture. Immediate fail there.

Most of the acting is typical "book language" theatrical nonsense which immediately makes it unwatchable. No-one in real life speaks like most characters/actors here, it's a relic from decades ago which makes most Finnish drama and comedy totally cringeworthy and unrelatable. Think of US or UK TV-shows where everyone spoke shakespearean and you got the point.

Most "actors" here have probably done a few shows at summer theater and now try comedy. It's a disaster.

2 out of 10 because I think every 1 vote is disqualified by the IMDb algorithm.

Very funny remake of british Office

It's surprisingly very good, Sami Hedberg carriers the show on his shoulders and does absolutely brilliant job.
